I loathe that. Also predicting someone will yell like an overhyped Band Mom "THEY'RE ALWAYS READYYYYYY!" who can't come up with something better when the announcer asks the corps because they learned it from other band Moms... and another part of me will die inside. I think we should scream "Meh!! I guess so!!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first show of my "just a fan" tour. Trust me, it's a short tour this summer. LOL. Black Knight 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So if anyone happens to be there and would like to stream I would REALLY appreciate it.... /batseyes there's no money in it for providers. if you can't get 5,000 fans for finals how are you going to get enough to pay for streaming in a way that doesn't lose money?

Oh I absolutely agree 100%. Though I will say, streaming can b done in a lot of different ways. We live stream just about every pool tournament on every pool tour in the world in some way, shape or form. There are certainly differences, but if a bunch of pool players can figure out how to run a tournament and get it streamed (for free,) then DCA should be able to do something. I'm sure the licensing issues are pretty overwhelming though. Edited July 1, 2019 by Weaklefthand4ever Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

totaleefree Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 I think with Flo, DCA overestimated the viewers that they would bring, even if the numbers were OK DCA had given some crazy estimate as to how many would watch a stream. DCA.s estimates of economic impact are crazy and while any money spent in a town helps it, when you say you will being 10 million and wind up with 20% of that it hurts your future prospects for getting a good deal whether town, venue or streaming service Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Algernon Posted July 2, 2019 Author Share Posted July 2, 2019 Do the Caballeros and CV have a chance or is this another Reading victory tour? Can the Hurricanes jump to the next level with Bush and White Sabres? Looks like the loss of guard staff has dropped Fusion out of any medal contention. Thoughts on Tradition breaking into top 6? Looks like Sunrisers and Southern Knights will be happy just having 2 performances. Shame, Sunrisers had several years of growth and were poised to jump to medal contention....

Great start for the Hurricanes at the Barnum Festival. It would be nice to see them back in the top-tier mix. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
